Internal Technical Report, Geothermal Wetland Research Test Plan for FY-1962
Results from the FY-81 research confirmed earlier findings that aquatic plants can accumulate elements from geothermal water. productivity results for cattail and bulrush were promising considering the fact that FY-81 was the first year for the outdoor system, and that the wetland was not planted until June. Objectives of the FY-82 research will be to determine productivity and water purification values for a full growing season. These objectives will be accomplished by: (1) using a mass balance approach to evaluate the movement of chemicals within and through the geothermal wetland system; (2) determining biomass production rates using the permanent reference quadrat (standing crop) technique; (3) determining the effect of retention time on water quality; (4) determining accumulation factors for the plants grown in the geothermal water; and (5) evaluating the algae at Raft River for its potential as a bioaccumulator, biomass producer, and feedstock for energy conversion.
